high official

Chapter 660 The Wind Has Changed
The activities here are difficult for outsiders to figure out, but those who are in one of the camps are very clear. Even if there is no evidence, the Crown Princess also understands that Wang Xian's subordinates must be the ones doing the troubles inside—just as even if there is no evidence Without evidence, she would also believe that it was King Han and Ji Gang who hijacked Xu Miaojin and forced Wang Xian to board the ship to impress her father.

Zhang was not dissatisfied with the fate of her nephew and sister-in-law, because she knew that if the conspiracy of the other party had not been thwarted, her husband, son, and even the whole family would have suffered even worse.No deposed prince has ever been spared, not to mention the two younger brothers of the prince are already so insane...

What she was really worried about was what happened between Wang Xian and Xu Miaojin?Originally, she was just guessing a little bit, but seeing Xu Miaojin's performance in front of Lin Qing'er, she really looked like a guilty conscience!

Thinking of that possibility, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help shivering, quickly rubbed her face, and muttered in a low voice: "I hope I'm overthinking, I'm overthinking..." Before her idea was confirmed, she couldn't even get the crown prince's attention. Speaking, I can only look at it first, I hope I think too much...

.

Xu Miaojin only saw the Crown Princess and Lin Qing'er, and all the subsequent guests stopped.Including the crown prince and the king of Han, they were all frightened by her maid Yizheng and needed recuperation. They would meet again in the future and were blocked from the door.The two unspeakably expensive His Majesties Qiantui can only go back home honestly, who would let that be their aunt...

But when Zhu Gaoxu came out, he happened to meet Zhu Gaochi getting off the car, and His Royal Highness immediately stepped forward with a dark face.After the Jinchuan Gate incident, this was the first time the two met each other.

Zhu Gaochi looked at his second brother with a smile, Xu Miaojin returned safely, and his biggest crisis was resolved, so he couldn't help being unhappy...

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhu Gaochi who looked like a fat pig with a gloomy face, wishing he could light up the sky lantern.This time stealing the chicken was a waste of rice, not to mention paying for his son, and even losing his face!Although the news about Zhu Zhanqi is strictly sealed and will never be announced, how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?What's more, it's the fastest-spreading pornographic news.

That incident had already spread among the small circles of public servants and civil servants in the capital...

"Second brother, come and see my aunt." Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu did not open his mouth, Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to speak first.

"Hmph." Zhu Gaoxu snorted and said, "My aunt is not seeing anyone, so please go back too."

"Oh." Zhu Gaochi nodded lightly and said: "If I don't see you, I will see you. I still have to greet you as a brother." As he spoke, he was about to step forward with the support of two young eunuchs.

When the two brothers crossed each other, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said sharply: "Zhu Gaochi, do you still have humanity?!"

"Second brother," Zhu Gaochi said with a slight frown, "Why are you so inhuman as a brother?"

"Human nature, can you mess with your nephew and younger siblings like that?" Zhu Gaoxu lowered his voice, his eyes spit fire and said, "You still deliberately let the emperor see, are you still human?!"

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly darkened, and his fat face was full of anger: "What kind of person am I? How could I do such a thing?!" His Royal Highness nodded and suppressed his anger: " Second brother, I know you are very angry now, no one wants to see this kind of thing happen, but since it happened..."

"Look, you obviously know about it, and you pretended not to know just now." Zhu Gaoxu said with a sneer on his face, "Just pretend it wasn't you who did it, and you, an uncle, can still laugh when such a scandal happened in your own family." , How can you be wronged if you say you are not a human being!"

"The reason why I pretended I didn't know was because I didn't want the scandal to spread!" Zhu Gaochi trembled angrily, "How can I ask you when this kind of thing happened? You don't think it's embarrassing enough to keep arguing? Are you happy that everyone in the city knows you?!"

"You..." The crown prince's words made the King of Han speechless, he gritted his teeth, and Fang Hei said, "Don't pretend to be an outsider here, I have been humiliated by you today, and I will repay you twice in the future! Just wait!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Zhu Gaochi was almost staggered by the sleeve of the King of Han, so he had to help him up and down. No matter how good His Highness is at nourishing Qi, his complexion is also very ugly.It took a while to get back together, straighten your clothes, and talk to the Taoist nun who is guarding the gate in person. The Taoist nun is very respectful to His Royal Highness, but she still stops him.

The prince was not surprised, so he asked the left and right to offer some nourishing medicine, and asked the Taoist nun to bring a message to say hello, then left Tianxiang Nunnery and went back home.

.

When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Zhu Gaochi heard that Yang Shiqi and Xue Juzheng had come, so he asked them to go to the study. After changing his clothes, he also went to the study to meet the two with Zhu Zhanqi's support.

"Your Highness, I heard that Master Xu has returned safely." When they saw Zhu Zhanji, they both got up and congratulated, "It's really auspicious people with their own appearance." This is a good compliment, even Xu Miaojin and the prince.

"Hehe, yes, the big stone in Gu's heart finally fell to the ground." Zhu Gaochi forced a smile, waved his hands and said, "Please sit down, both of you..."

Yang Shiqi and Xue Juzheng were looking at the prince at first, thinking that the monarch and his ministers could rejoice together, but they found that His Highness the prince was not as excited as they imagined, but sat down a little listlessly.Both of them were a little surprised, so they sat down quietly, waiting for Zhu Gaochi to speak.

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his temples, feeling that his head was not so dizzy, and realized that the two of them had stopped talking, so he quickly put down his hands, "I'm sorry, I suddenly have a headache, what can you do?"

"Your Highness, the capital has been under martial law for half a month, causing great inconvenience to the lives of the people." Xue Juzheng saw that Yang Shiqi had no intention of speaking, so he said first: "Now that the real person has returned safely, does it mean that the crisis can come to an end? Contact martial law?"

"Hmm." Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "I think it's ok, what does Master Yang think?"

"I mean that too." Yang Shiqi nodded hurriedly.The martial law in the capital is nominally to prevent Xu Miaojin, Zhu Zhanqi, and Concubine Zhao from being taken captive again and again, but in actual implementation, the people who have evolved into the king of Han control the defense of the capital, and the people of Ji Gang take the opportunity to expand their power Naturally, the civil servants are eager to lift martial law as soon as possible.

"Then cancel it." Zhu Gaochi nodded, but laughed at himself: "I just don't know how many people will obey Gu's decree..."

When Yang Xue heard the prince's words, both of them were shocked, but their thoughts were not the same.What Xue Juzheng was thinking was that the situation was so corrupted that Ruosi really did not leave the Prince's Mansion with the government order?Yang Shiqi was surprised by the prince's attitude - it was quite different from the prince's usual style of emphasizing brotherly respect and whitewashing peace!

Could it be that the prince has made up his mind?Yang Shiqi's eyes suddenly became serious.

Zhu Gaochi seemed to realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "My head is very dazed, don't take what nonsense I said seriously. Governor Xue, I will leave the matter of lifting the martial law to you."

"Yes, I will take my leave as a minister." Naturally, Xue Juzheng knew that the prince was seeing off a guest, so he stood up and left.

"Xian'er, send Master Xue off for me." Zhu Gaochi nodded and told his second son.

"Yes, father." Zhu Zhanxi responded and went out with Xue Juzheng.

.

Once Xue Juzheng and Zhu Zhanxi left, only the prince and Yang Shiqi were left in the study.

The relationship between Yang Shiqi and the prince is very ordinary in the eyes of outsiders.There was no personal relationship between the two, and Yang Shiqi never went to the Prince's Mansion during the holidays, which was completely different from the other great scholars who had lectured in the East Palace. He stayed to assist and monitor the prince.

But in fact, it's just that Yang Shiqi is extremely cautious as an official.This has something to do with his experience... Unlike those colleagues who were admitted to Jinshi at a young age, ordered to the Imperial Academy, high-spirited, and the king and I are the first and I am the second, Yang Shiqi's life was very rough. Facing famine and war, he lost his father when he was one year old. Later, he remarried with his mother and had a stepfather.

His stepfather was strict and arrogant, and never gave him a good look. Even though he was only five or six years old at the time, Yang Shiqi could clearly feel that the only thing he could do was to be careful every day and try not to get into trouble, so as not to cause trouble. Get yourself and your mother into trouble.

But no matter how hard it was, Yang Shiqi never gave up studying.Because only by studying can one gain fame and change the fate of oneself and her mother.Moreover, his talent is indeed very high, and he was admitted as a scholar at the age of 15.It's just that studying is a costly thing. Due to his poor family, he had to interrupt his studies and work as a teacher in a private school in the country.However, it was the early years of the Kingdom, and there was a severe shortage of talents, so the court had to directly select officials from among the talented, so Yang Shiqi was able to teach in the county.Although it is a low-level official position, it is still an official.

It's a pity that not long after, he accidentally lost his school seal. In this era, it is a felony for an official to lose his seal. It also coincided with the era when Zhu Yuanzhang was murderous. Yang Shiqi was frightened, so he abandoned his official position and ran away...

Afterwards, he lived in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. He dared not go back to his family, and hid everywhere. It was not until the Jianwen Reformation and the amnesty of the world that he got rid of his status as a prisoner... But wandering around is not without benefits. With his profound education, he I got to know a lot of literati and celebrities.

Later, in the second year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen summoned Confucian scholars from all over the world to write "Taizu Shilu". The 36-year-old Yang Shiqi was also recommended to be the editor because of his solid historical knowledge, and he went ashore to clean up his crimes.Later, because of his deep education and noble character, he was appreciated by Guan Xiaoru, the president of "Taizu Shilu", and he was actually promoted to vice president in one fell swoop!

Although this vice president has no rank, it means that he has been recognized by the civil servants and accepted him as one of them, and he is at a very high level.
